http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-US/vbgeneral/thread/191b47ab-65b4-410c-a00b-959ac5ca402f When I run the VB6 upgrade wizard in Visual Studio 2005 I get an error. It is not related to the application I am upgrading, because I even get the error if I run it on a blank vb6 app. I've re-installed, and still no luck.

I don't have the Wow6432Node key. And the problem is still there. After a bit more research / hacking (using the great Regmon log)I've found thatmy problem was fixed after addingthese missingkeys; [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\VBUpgrade] HelpLink=ms-help://MS.VSCC.v80/MS.MSDNQTR.80.en/commoner/redir/redirect.htm?keyword= [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\VBUpgrade\Source Language Drivers] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\VBUpgrade\Source Language Drivers\Visual Basic] @=Visual Basic 6.0 FileLocation=VBSLD [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\VBUpgrade\Target Language Drivers] [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\VBUpgrade\Target Language Drivers\VB7] @=Visual Basic 7 FileLocation=vb7tld I noticed that the keys were correctly in the VBExpress location so I just exported them at the VBUpgrade point and then edited the .reg file by replacing the VBExpress with VisualStudio.

I had the same problem of the upgrade wizard halting on 'initialisation', no matter what size the program was. After reading Todd's (vb6-2-vb2005) post I did some investigating and found that I had a similar problem, but the opposite way round. I had to export, rename, and import the keys from VBUpgrade to VBExpress. That then gave me an error when running the upgrade wizard, although I forget the error message now. I then performed yet another re-installation, and hey-presto! All working fine now. Don't know if the problem was related to aproblem I hadwith the SQL Server Express installation prior to this. It had got to a state where I couldn't uninstall it, re-installation would fail with a message saying there where no changes to be made to the installation,and it wouldn't start as a service. I had to manually search and remove the whole Registry for any SQL Server keys. All seems to working OK with SQL Server after re-installing it. Hope this helps. Good luck to all. 该评论在 2012/11/24 22:41:40 编辑过
